[Verse 1]
Don't you let your light filter in, I'll be alright
By myself tonight
War's on, settle in
While my record-setters spin for the Guinness Book

[Chorus 1]
And damned near perfect we were
On the spinning Earth

[Verse 2]
Don't you pull the pin
Keep it all from closing in
On itself tonight
Fool to bet your life
Better wise than lucky
I'd sooner double down

[Refrain]
And the driveway is drying out our young names
As we circle 'round

[Verse 3]
Hold the candle still
Stutter-hand and steady will
With your flickering you
You fill my philistine mind
When I know what that means
Then I will be damned
[Chorus 2]
Damned near perfect we were
Passing rashes and words
That don't mean a thing

[Refrain]
And the driveway is drying out our young names
They made babies by now
But there's still a war on

[Outro]
Don't you let your light filter in, I'll be alright
By myself tonight
